Emphysematous gastritis in an immunocompromised host

Infection with gas-forming organisms is the most frequently cited cause. In all previously reported patients, the clinical presentation was dramatic. We report on an immunocompromised host who had a surprisingly subtle clinical presentation.

Lung biopsy in immunocompromised hosts
The American Journal of Medicine, 1975Ninety-five lung biopsy procedures in 78 immunocompromised patients yielded treatable diagnoses in 35 per cent of the needle aspirates, 46 per cent of the cutting needle biopsies and 65 per cent of the open thoracotomies. Complication rates of bleeding or pneumothorax were comparable to those previously described in nonimmunocompromised patients.
